The drill program that was planned to test the new targets immediately accessible has now been given a much higher priority. The new airline should therefore significantly increase worker productivity and overall project efficiency. The distance from the Ruby Portal to the Big Bend is over 5,000 feet, and the existing compressed airline used to power our drills and other equipment was deemed to be insufficient for the many tasks being performed, especially when the same compressed air pipe was being used to power equipment at the White Channel and other locations downstream from the Big Bend. The new airline for compressed air is expected to allow work to proceed more efficiently. Toward that end the plan for the raise has been revised to now take a shorter path to the Big Bend through a crosscut further upstream in the Ruby Tunnel, and should therefore take less time to complete.

This has always been our primary mining target, and we will now proceed forward to it without delay. Over 58,000 ounces of gold had been produced from that location prior to closure, and the Ruby has not been in full production since that time. Best Collection of Ruby Nuggets currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History were extracted just before the mine was ordered closed by the US Government during World War II. It is significant as being that location within the Ruby Mine where the world-class C.L. The Big Bend section of the Black Channel is on the eastern side of the Melones Fault, the principle controlling structure that defines the Motherlode system of Northern California and which runs directly through the Ruby property. The completion of the Big Bend Raise remains our highest priority, as it opens up access to many of the known mining targets upstream between the Black Channel and the Lawry Shaft. The goal of these changes is to streamline the operation to make more efficient use of our available resources, both in terms of our operating budget and manpower. Mining in the White Channel will be discontinued for the immediate future.

Additional steel pipe will be installed next week to increase our compressed air capacity and provide for more efficient work performance in multiple headings simultaneously.

A drilling program to test the accessible targets recently identified as possible new channels will be mobilized immediately.

The work to complete the Big Bend Raise into the Black Channel will be accelerated to complete this task within the next 6-8 weeks if not sooner.
